The Unique Experience of Iceland

If in any country, most of the land is covered by big volcanoes, land shaking earthquakes, biggest glaciers in the world and thousands of exploding hot geysers all around, you cannot say that it is a tourist destination by any angle. But hey! If you think about Iceland you will have to re-correct your thinking. Iceland is the fastest growing country in terms of tourism and mind you that it has all nature made wonders you can think of. It is situated at just a step like distance from North America and in Europe; its location is northern Western Europe and believe me this little island is much easier to reach as one would imagine.

Iceland’s attraction is its undomesticated and natural countryside. Because of its location is on the two tectonic plates the map and shape of this country keeps on changing constantly. This is the reason why there is every shade of nature such as huge waterfalls, frozen and moving glaciers, continuously bursting volcanoes, and some biggest lava fields of the world. For thrill seekers, Iceland is by far the most ideal destination. One can enjoy ice fishing, whale watching, puffin and other sea bird watching, kayaking and jet-boating. One can very easily tour whole Iceland with the help of local tour organizers there. Whether you prefer to travel around Iceland by bus, snowmobile, or gentle Icelandic horse, no matter what you choose, Iceland will satisfy you anyway. Iceland is also rich in cultural treasures, indulgences, and a serious patron of the arts. One can enjoy Icelandic meal or food of any part of the world in many of the world class restaurants situated there. One can even savor their ancient artistic styles in museums. In those museums you can understand about geography of the country, about tectonic plates and get a much better understanding of this unique country. You can even enjoy musical local or international concerts organized every fall evening.

The most enjoying and surprising thing in Iceland is the steamy blue lagoon. This lagoon is the most famous tourist destination of Iceland. It is a haven of heat in that chilly and cool background around it. This blue lagoon gets its energy from geothermal energy; the intense cloudy blue waters becomes roasting at times and is full of healthy minerals all the time. Iceland’s trump card in terms of tourism is Nature. There is a new and different thing every 10 miles. Don't forget to record all that otherwise you will regret your whole life as it is a place which you cannot experience anywhere else.

Any kind of weather can be expected anytime In Iceland and sometimes you cannot actually realize what season there is. You have to consider that the weather can change in a minute and pack accordingly. Silence is another big feature of Iceland. Because it has so much of uninhabited wide open spaces where the only sounds you are likely to hear are the sounds of nature; Sound of birds singing or sound of the running of the river from somewhere far, sound of falling water or sometimes the sounds of air. One can see the sun set at midnight during the summer. For lovers it is the most perfect or romantic moment. This is because in high summer the sun goes down around midnight and rises almost immediately again. If someone comes during wintertime he/she may have the chance to see the northern lights (aurora borealis) in its full flow but the condition is that the evenings should be cold and the sky has to be clear. But still it all depends on the weather. The country of Iceland with its mixture of both nature and technology, modern and traditional background is absolutely a must visit for any person if you truly want to have a trip of your lifetime.
